Question: Maple 15 numerical evaluation of integrals cannot evaluate singularities on one computer.

I use Maple 15 to calculate some (nasty) integrals at my university. Because our university also offers a server on which I can run my Maple program, I would like to do that. (instead of occupying a workspace). But at the computer on my workspace the integrals are evaluated fine, but on the server the integrals are just returned with no numerical evaluation.

I constructed a MWE to look where it goes wrong. I set the printlevel to 25 so I could see what was going on. The MWE was suprisingly simple, on both machines (via ssh) I executed within maple:

evalf(Int(1/sqrt(x), x=0..2))

This of course would normally just give 2*sqrt(2). On my workplace-pc it worked fine and it found 2.828427125. The server just returned the integral. After looking at the steps, they where both exactly the same until the following part:

Workplace-PC:

         General_flags := {_NoNAG, _DEFAULT, _NoMultiple}

            NAG_methods := {_d01ajc, _d01akc, _d01amc}

                        Method := _DEFAULT

                          HFDigits := 15

                                       -12
                        HFeps := 0.1 10

                                            -9
                    HFeps := 0.5000000000 10

   oldEvents := overflow = default, division_by_zero = default

                         callNAG := true

                            fcns := {}

                  result := 2.82842712474618807

Server:

        General_flags := {_NoNAG, _DEFAULT, _NoMultiple}

           NAG_methods := {_d01ajc, _d01akc, _d01amc}

                       Method := _DEFAULT

                         HFDigits := 15

                                      -12
                       HFeps := 0.1 10

                                           -9
                   HFeps := 0.5000000000 10

   oldEvents := overflow = default, division_by_zero = default

                         callNAG := true

                           fcns := {}

       overflow = exception, division_by_zero = exception

It seems that the server has a problem with the singularity and thus throwing an exception, but I just don't get why. The Maple-versions are both the same.

Does somebody know what this could be?

Please Wait...
